Phosphate radical with ammonium molybdate gives precipitate of which colour
1 Violet
2 Pink
3 Canary yellow
4 Green
Explanation:
(c) Phosphates give canary yellow precipitate with ammonium molybdate in the presence of conc. \(HN{O_3}\)
\({H_3}P{O_4} + 12{(N{H_4})_2}Mo{O_4} + 21HN{O_3}\) \(\rightarrow\) \(\mathop {\mathop {{{(N{H_4})}_3}P{O_4}.12Mo{O_3}}\limits_{{\rm{ammonium phosphomolybdate}}} }\limits_{{\rm{(canary yellow ppt}}{\rm{.)}}} + 21N{H_4}N{O_3} + 12{H_2}O\)
